S.FIRST REGIMENT OF THE WEST
VIRGINIA NATIONAL GUARD"

S'FIRST REGIMENT OF THE WEST
VIRGINIA NATIONAL GUARD"
MI. CHIPLEY'S bill before the House
provides that 1.-THE volunteer militia force
of this State shall consist of twelve COM
panies of infantry and n g~atling gun bat
terry, each infantry company to be eompOs-
ed of not less than fifty nor more than one
hundred men rank and file, and the gatling
gun battery not less than twenty nor more
than thirty men rank and file" This
regiment is to consist of \ battalion of
three companies from each Congressional
district. The men are to enlist for not
less than three years, and must muster at
least once a month and go into encamp-
ment not less than seven days each year.
With the exception of uniform, the ex-
penses are to be borne by the State.
This bill is q very Opportune one. West
Virginia is far behind her sister States in
encouraging the military spirit, having
scarcely the shadow of a military force. A
regiment Of a thousand men would be a
respectable beginning.
Congress has just passed n bill greatly ID
creasing the appropriations for armiDg and
equipping the militia of the States, the
sum, if we remember correctly, beingmore

The Denver Republican says:
"There is but little of that affection
for Cleveland which the people have
shown to his predecessors" 1t is
evident that republican newspapers
are beginning early to get in practice
for the next campaign with their
cool and unreasonable misrepresen-
tations. The fact is that Mr.. Cleve-
land is one of the most remarkably
popular presidents that the country
has ever had. and the fact that the
people everywhere are clamoring for
visit from him is an evidence of it
that only republican newspaper
would fail to see.

Seventeen wears apo the cit,

Seventeen years ago the city coun-
Gil Of Des Moines, To-, granted a
street railroad company an exclusive
franchise to lay tracks in the streets
and alleys of the city. Lately ca
bic company wanted to put down a
line. Litigation ensued anl the su-
preme court affirmed the validity of
exclusive franchise. The Des Moines
papers bewail this settlement of the
case, but seem to think there is no
help for it. One would suppose
that If the present city council were
SO disposed, it could easily make
that monopoly anxious for compro-
mise if not REIMBURSEMENT of its ex-
elusive privileges.-St. Louis Rep.

DAVID HOFFMAN,"

Washington, D. c., July 22.-In
the examination of the books and
accounts of Mr.. Jordan, late treasur-
er of the United States, which has
been concluded, the only discrepancy
was shortage of $3.50 in a weigh
OF gold coins of that denomination
which had been counted by weight
many years ago, and passed along
from treasurer to treasurer as cor
rect, and the mistake was only dis
covered by actual count.
The tracer showed the name of
the clerk who had made the mistake
and as he was still in the service the
matter was called to his attention
and he at once made the shortage
good so that Uncle Sans" cash ac-

FROM YOUR OWN MOUTHS ARE YE
CONVICTED.

r i about time our citizens were
entering into some kind OF a CORES
pondence with the St. L.. h. {. n I:
railroad. Clinton, Montrose and
Rich Hill should work together IN
this matter. II the road should par
allel the No. F. to this place there
would be no new towns start up to
draw away our trade. but if they
should go by Butler and penetrate
the vicinity of Grange Hall 1t Will
hurt the trade OF Montrose. Crlch
and Clinton from the fact that III
that lovely country a fou1shng
town would spring up and draw the
trade from al three places. They
will soon be to Clinton and Will then
move on southwest. Now is the
right time to give the matter some
attention Democrat
The above is as clear statement
of the facts as if "a whole volume had
been written upon it. If the Colo
RADIO will parallel the NJ. X. a L,
then it will pass through country
that already has an outlet and from
which the cream of the business has
been taken. NO new towns to
draw trade would start up. OF
course not. it would be of no com
mercial interest to this road to
run through country where the
business is already overdone. But
if thev should come by Butler they
would penetrate that lovely coun-
try in the vicinity Of Grange Hall,
where tiourishing town would
spring up" hurting all the other
towns alike.
This very idea is what We have
been endeavoling to get before the
managers of this road. and if they
see it as it really exists. aud we be
lieve they do. then we do not care
for the combined opposition of all
the towns. for railroad sare no; built
to please few individuals or towns
along the route. but for the business
the road will command after it is
completed. The route. by way of
Butler. offers "a stretch of seventy
five miles of the prettiest agricultur-
al country railroad was ever
built over. uninvaded by any other
road. A country the richness of
which has never been disputed and
the beauty of which is unexcelled in
Missouri. 1t has SO far failed to Sc
cure a railroad but the attention of
railroad men are fixed upon it and it is
only question of very short time
until this gap is filled up. If the st.
Louis, X. c. & Colorado do not en-
brace the opportunity offered them
some other company will. for this
country can not longer remain with
out an outlet.

young man, whom 1 have played
with may read them and a warning
take from me and never tip the pois-
on bowl to your lips. Young man,
when you fill the first glass set it
down and think-O! think deep in
your hearts how many graves it has
filed. o. how many children's faith
ers it has torn from them and how
many poor wives are left alone in
sorrow, grief for the loss of their
dear. beloved husbands. how many
poor mothers hearts it has broken.
o. young men; turn from that broad
and sinful path. o. stop and think
of one who was free and happy,
whose heart is oyerhowed with sor-
row and grief-almost laid in his
lonely grave-all for that miserable
liquor. o! young men, take warn
ing from them before it is too late
